Just learned at this late date of the passing of Mary Jo. I met her at work and always enjoyed her upbeat, playful spirit. Heartfelt condolences to all of her loved ones.

Mary Jo was such a sweet, kind person ,who loved her dinosaurs... R.I.P sweet lady  

I met this beautiful young person, Mary Jo, the first day of 7th grade at Air Academy Junior High School. We became great friends through junior high and high school, she was someone I always looked forward to seeing and talking with every day.  My heart is heavy, we lost a wonderful person way too soon. Everyone loved Mary Jo, for she was simply unwaveringly sweet and kind.  Rest In Peace my friend.

You were the best MJ. I can't believe you are gone. The world is now a colder place without you. I will see you again when I get there. Love you MJ.

MJ you will be deeply missed by many people. You were such a sweet and loving soul. I will always remember you. And I will always keep and eye on Riley for you. Rest well my friend. 

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mary Jo’s family. I went to school with Mary Jo. We played soccer together and I will never forget her infectious smile and laugh! Mary Jo welcomed everyone and made sure no one felt left out. The world lost a dynamic soul this past week. She may be gone but will never be forgotten! RIP Mary Jo.

So sorry to hear this.  I played soccer with Mary Jo at Air Academy High School, Attackers (competitive soccer) and in the Adult soccer League in Colorado Springs.  She was such a funny and great girl.  My sincere condolences to the family and dear friends.  🙏🙏 

Such a beautiful soul! So sorry for the loss to the world. Stay in peace my sweet!

Sorry for your loss, thoughts & prayers to you and your family


Growing up with Mary Jo is one of my life’s fondest memories. As neighbors, we saw each other most every day. Mary Jo’s beautiful smile was always the first thing to greet me. If Mary Jo was not at our home, my sister Susan and I were at hers. There was always an open door at our homes and us kids wore a trail between our family’s front doors. Though, very rarely would you find Mary Jo indoors, if we weren’t playing softball, soccer, kick the can, riding bikes, or hide and seek, then you’d find us up in the trees, climbing rocks, exploring our creek, riding our horse and pony, or sneaking off to Stop-N-Shop to buy candy and sodas. Mary Jo was not only my friend, but part of our family. I always looked up to MJ, she was the glue that bound us kids together, she was and always will be that beautiful bright light that shined upon all of us. My heart truly aches knowing of her passing, I will forever hold Mary Jo in my heart. Sending my condolences to MJ’s entire family and friends.

MJ wow I cant believe your gone...my heart is heavy and my prayers go out to your family and especially Riley....you were like Peter pan with your infectious personality and love for people. You will be dearly missed...God speed my friend until we meet again...

Love Tomi & son Chris

MJ- another friend gone too soon. I will always remember your love of dinosaurs and you singing and talking in your munchkin voice. I will miss you more than you'll ever know.           Leigh                                                                                  

Mary Jo was such an important part of our lives, living next door
as neighbors during her childhood and becoming as close as family.
This cute little girl stole our hearts with her big smile and cheerful 
and funny personality. Our kids loved being together.

Our hearts are so heavy because she is gone way too soon. Rest
with your family and the Angels, dear one.

Our deepest sympathy, love and prayers to you, George and your family, Rich and Riley and all who loved her.

Sandy Hemenway love you rest in peace my friend.you are missed.


Dear Rykies - my heart is just broken with this news. I had always hoped I’d see Mary Jo again. Though the course of our lives took us far from each other, my memories of childhood with Mary Jo are sweet and vivid. They seem like they  happened just yesterday.  She was my best friend, my little sister, protector, and  maid of honor.  Her smile was wide and infectious - she brought so much joy to our adventures. Two little girls, then teens, could never have had as much fun as Mary Jo and I did growing up together.  I am deeply saddened and  regret losing touch. It is a comfort to know she is safely at rest with George and Mrs. Rykie. 
Heartfelt love and prayers for you all during this 
sorrowful time.  Susan (Madigan) Millonig
